1
Sell when your target selling price aligns with recent transacted prices in your development and nearby competing condos. A realistic goal is when your intended price falls within 5 to 8 percent above the latest comparable sales, because buyers and valuers use those benchmarks to judge fair value.

2
Choose a window when data shows steady or rising price momentum in your district (for example, quarterly resale price increases, low supply of similar units, or strong sales volumes). This improves valuation outcomes and reduces the risk of price negotiations falling through.

3
Time your exit so your financial plan stays intact, meaning the sale proceeds support your next move with minimal bridging risk. This usually means selling before significant lease decay, but after you have captured a healthy appreciation cycle

Dear Owner,
It depends on the property location. If your property is in a location where many developments are taking place, there is definitely some mileage to hold on as a 1st mover. Is there an MRT coming up nearby?

At the same time, it also depends on what you want to do after selling your unit. Are you planning to re-invest? So, there are serious questions to ask and answer.

It is best to enage a property agent and work with that person, like you would, with a doctor or lawyer. We can guide you to make the best decision that is possible at that point in time. Timing is very important.

Please contact me so that I can be of further assistance.
Cheers!

This depends on your objective as well as the specific condo you are aiming, but generally based on the data, here are a few exit opportunities throughout a 99-year leasehold timelines.

1) Upon TOP
2) TOP + 2 years
5) Before the 10 Year nark
6) Before the 15 year mark
7) Before the 40 year mark
8) After government announcements (e.g. new MRT line, new business park)
9) After planned infrastructure / transformations have been completed (e.g. MRT station opening)

For a 99-year leasehold condo, the best time to sell is usually:
• Before the remaining lease drops below ~60–70 years, because buyers (especially for HDB upgrade eligibility or CPF loan purposes) tend to prefer properties with longer leases.
• Market timing matters more than lease age alone — if property prices are strong, it might still be profitable to sell even with 60–70 years left.
• Consider your financing needs — if buyers need bank loans or CPF usage, the remaining lease should be long enough to meet lender requirements (typically at least 60 years remaining).

If you want, I can also give a rough guide of resale value trends versus remaining lease years so you can estimate the best selling window.

Hi Sir/Mdm,

The answer to your question depends on factors such as the past performance of your condo and the future projection of the value of your unit. If it is a leasehold property, you may want to sell at a time when the overall real estate market is at a high to maximise your returns.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can gather more information from you about your unit and provide you with further information and insights!

Testimonial from my Clients
Nick is THE absolute best agent, guide to navigating the property market in Singapore. From selling to buying, he manages to get the absolute highest when selling and negotiators to the absolute lowest when purchasing. (So double win for me!). In fact, I bought my new home at the absolute lowest transaction across all the transacting homes. Most agents would just give vanilla advice, he puts scrutiny into every potential choice we were making by advising potential gains, rental yields, back up plans. I think we went through a whole list of more than 20 + before narrowing down to a few high potential properties! Super responsive to our questions and handheld us through the process and even answered questions in the middle of the night. Would absolutely recommend working with Nick for anyone looking to buy, sell or just advice!
Kenneth (Seller and Buyer) Jan 2025

Nick was introduced to me by a friend who learned that my previous property agent wasn’t meeting my expectations. During our first phone call, Nick quickly grasped my concerns and provided a detailed financial plan the next day. Since switching to Nick, selling my house has been much more relaxed. His virtual tour and informative fact sheet eliminated the need for my family and me to be constantly present for viewings by unsuitable buyers.
Nick was invaluable in purchasing my next property. He sourced units within my budget and analysed price trends of condo projects I was interested in. With Nick’s assistance, the buying process was seamless, and he expertly coordinated the sale of my current unit with the purchase of the next. Kudos to Nick for his outstanding service and advice!
Eileen Chen (Seller) June 2024

During Nick’s presentation to us, he showed confidence and resourcefulness. He showed us his various methods of reaching out to potential buyers instead of just relying on Propertyguru. He also saw the potential of our home to sell at our projected price. Where other agents deem impossible to achieve, he did his analysis and deems it reasonable and achievable. Nick proves trustworthy. From time to time, Nick will update us on the progress and on any viewing. He will filter buyers who could not meet our asking price and provide update and advice on the offers. We are grateful that he helps us to negotiate for a good price for our home. In summary, Nick is dedicated, resourceful, trustworthy and willing to take challenges.
Sunny Ng (Seller) April 2024

Selling our house was a pretty stressful ordeal, as we have already committed to buying our new home and hence have a timeline to meet. Losing a substantial deposit and worse still, not getting our dream home caused many sleepless nights as we are nearing our deadline. I am very glad we have decided to switch to Nick and seek his help after the dismal performance of our first agent. Not only is Nick very patient in explaining things to us, time and time again he gives us reassurance to allay our worries. And he walked his talk.
With his help, we finally managed to sell our unit at a price within our expectations, before the deadline. Nick’s service is top notch – he is knowledgeable in h Read More

Good day to you.

As you know, ownership of newly launched properties begins once the Sale and Purchase agreement (S&P) is exercised. Therefore, the initial 3 to 4 years will involve ongoing construction. Owners are likely to refrain from selling within the first 4 years post-TOP due to the Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD) that is applicable. This would provide you with the next 7 to 10 years for selling the property, potentially achieving the best prices. With a newer lease, financial institutions will offer better mortgage terms to resale buyers. However, once the lease surpasses the 17-year mark, the situation tends to change based on factors like location, size, and desirability.

There is no best time per say but still depending on your plans.

Price growth is usually the most during the first 10 to 15 years. Read More

Hi,

1) This is dependent on what you are expecting and your planning.
2) Some bought for long term rental yield. Some bought to hedge against inflation. Some bought to flip.
3) There are long term and short term planning. Thus, it really depends on your main and only objective.
4) If you had bought a new launch, the best time to sell is after completion of the SSD period. Most people who did this is to flip, so that they can use the return capital for the next launch.
5) Some do it after 5 years, where most of property value would raise higher than TOP or at the completion of SSD.
6) The disadvantage is to deal with the defects checking and repair, and get tenants, buy furniture, etc.
7) Some do it after 10 years, this is the group that long for a stable passive income. The period could extend up to 20 years or more.
8) If you bought a resale, then, it depends on when you had bought it to determine when is a better time to sell.
9) There is no fixed formular for this situation. Because, the best time would be when there is an enbloc.

All The Best!!!

Hi,

For a 99-year leasehold condo, the best time to sell is typically within the first 20 years after it is built or during a market upswing.

Here is why:
Early Years: The price usually peaks around the first 3-5 years after completion. After that, it enters a gradual decline as the lease shortens.

Lease Decay: Avoid waiting until the lease falls below 60 years, as value and bank loan eligibility can drop sharply ("value cliff").

Market Timing: If you're past the initial years, watch for market cycles. Sell during a peak or when demand is high to maximize profit.
Essentially, sell early or sell high—don't wait for the lease to age.

With extensive experience spanning both HDB resale and private property transactions, I possess a comprehensive understanding of the market that can guide your specific property goals. Whether you are looking to buy, sell, or invest, I am ready to provide a tailored assessment of the current opportunities available to you.
